Subtitled: A case study of Bradford Mills at Marki near Warsaw, 1883-1939.
A detailed history of the development of a textile mill complex and associated housing in Marki, near Warsaw in Poland. The site was founded in 1883 by Edward Briggs, a worsted manufacturer from Bradford. Marki manufactured worsted cloth for the Polish market.
The development of the housing was along the lines of a British model industrial village. There were contemporary comparisons in the British press to 'a second Saltaire' and 'the Polish Bournville or Port Sunlight'.
There are many references throughout the book to both Sir Titus Salt and to Saltaire.
